To start your Poulan Pro GTI18KT Trimmer, ensure it is filled with the correct fuel mix. Move the choke lever to the 'start' position, press the primer bulb 5-6 times, and pull the starter rope until the engine fires. Once the engine starts, move the choke to the 'run' position.
The correct fuel mixture for the Poulan Pro GTI18KT Trimmer is a 40:1 ratio of unleaded gasoline to 2-cycle oil. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of the engine.
To replace the trimmer line, remove the spool by pressing the tabs on the side. Cut two lengths of line, insert them into the holes on the spool, and wind them evenly. Secure the lines in the notches and reattach the spool.
If your trimmer won't start, check the fuel mixture, ensure the spark plug is clean and functional, and verify that the air filter is not clogged. Also, inspect the fuel lines for leaks or blockages.
To clean the air filter, remove the cover, take out the filter, and wash it with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and let it dry completely before reinstalling it. This helps maintain engine performance.
If the trimmer line breaks frequently, it could be due to incorrect line size, worn out line, or debris hitting the line. Ensure you are using the correct line specification and avoid contact with hard surfaces.
To improve performance, regularly clean the air filter, use fresh fuel, replace the spark plug annually, and keep the trimmer line at the recommended length. Regular maintenance ensures optimal functionality.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the air filter, inspecting and replacing the spark plug, checking fuel lines and filter, and ensuring the trimmer head is free of debris. This keeps the trimmer running smoothly.
For off-season storage, drain the fuel tank, clean the trimmer thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Removing the spark plug and adding a few drops of oil into the cylinder before replacing it can prevent corrosion.
If the trimmer head is not spinning, check for obstructions, inspect the drive shaft for damage, and ensure the clutch is engaging. If necessary, consult a professional for repairs.
